New Apple Watch Series 10 rumor reveals it may be a disappointment — here's why
This year's Apple Watch Series 9, launched in September, isn't exactly brimming with new features (read our review here). And the next iteration of the device, likely due next year, reportedly won't be very innovative either.
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, next year's Apple Watch won't have the rumored micro-LED display nor the blood-glucose monitor.
Instead, micro-LED is coming to Apple Watch in 2025, Kuo claims, or perhaps even 2026. As for the blood-glucose monitoring feature, Kuo says it's not happening in 2024 — and "possibly not in 2025," either.

In fact, Kuo puts it rather bluntly: "The 2024 new Apple Watch will unlikely have significant innovative experiences."
If this rumor is accurate, this would be disappointing. The Apple Watch Series 9's biggest new features are Double Tap and increased brightness, which are welcome upgrades, but not groundbreaking. As of this writing, it's unclear which noteworthy perks, if any, the next-generation Apple Watch will bring to the table.
Kuo has an interesting prediction, however. He thinks that Apple can create "unparalleled and innovative health management experience" by integrating the Apple Watch with the upcoming Apple Vision Pro headset. Details on how, exactly, this might work are absent. We may find out more when Vision Pro launches in early 2024.
